Except for a few unfortunate individuals, no law in this world can go against the fact
that for most of us our family is an essential part of our lives. The moment you enter this
cruel world, where each man is for himself, there are some near and dear ones out there
who will do anything to ensure your happiness.
We are nothing more than a vulnerable and fragile object, without someone taking
care of us on our arrival in this world. Despite all the odds, your family will take care of
your well-being, and try their best to provide you with the greatest comforts in the world.
No one out there, except your family must forgive an endless number of mistakes you may
make in your life. Apart from teaching you how to forgive and forget lessons, they are
always there for you, when you need them the most.
Family is the only place where children study a lot after school. In school, teachers
teach children about the subjects which will help them to find a good job in future. But at
home, parents teach children about good habits. They are not only the elements which help
the children to shape their personalities but they also prepare them for a sustainable and
bright future.
A good family makes a greater society. Father, mother, children have to work in order
to build a strong family. If any one of them fails, the whole family may collapse. The good
name of the whole family can be ruined by a single member of the family. In order to avoid
that unhappy scenario, every family member has to work hard and try their best. As a result,
they will set good examples for the whole society. Families impact very much on society
and societies create countries.
